AGAINST THE GRAIN
Bookbindery
About Us:
Against the Grain (ATG) is a traditional bindery located in the East Mountains outside of Albuquerque. With over 25 years of experience ATG offers book and bible repair and restoration, custom bindings and boxes, and fun workshops to make your own special book or box. Because we work out of a private studio, we take in jobs by appointment only. Contact us by phone or email to arrange a time to meet, we also offer free pick-up and delivery in the Albuquerque area.
ATG also offers a wide variety of community book arts workshops for all age groups and skill levels at numerous locations throughout Albuquerque and Santa Fe. Visit our Classes page for more information and join our mailing list to receive class notifications and announcements about upcoming events.
